Dayum dude. Im sorry nobody's been able to give you a definite. See if your spores glow under uv light because I believe I read gymnopilus spores will glow under blacklight. The gills and spores I believe. That's all I got buddy good luck!

I've been thinking maybe a darker-than-usual Pholiota destruens var edmundii (i think the most recent name would be hemipholiota populnea var edmundii) like those in these pictures:

http://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=H&l=l&nom=Hemipholiota%20populnea%20var.%20edmundii%20/%20H%C3%A9mipholiote%20du%20peuplier,%20vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20d%27Edmund&tag=Hemipholiota%20populnea%20var.%20edmundii&gro=35 (this also provides ID info (its in french but when translated it matches up 100% with my specimen))

http://mycoportal.org/portal/taxa/index.php?taxauthid=1&taxon=Pholiota+destruens+var.+edmundii

Can anyone confirm or correct this assessment?

With further examination, I think it looks like some populus log (perhaps populus alba?), which matches my current theory for the ID

Would any of the Trusted Identifiers be willing to confirm or deny my ID of Hemipholiota populnea var. edmondii (synonymous with pholiota destruens var edmondii and possibly the european species hemipholiota heteroclita)? This would be interesting since it would (as far as i can find) be the first time it is described from Rhode Island or any of the surrounding states.

Here's one of the more in-depth descriptions I've found of this variant to make the work easier for anyone willing to try. It was however translated from French by way of google so the translation is rather imperfect but the meaning is preserved:

Hat

3-10 cm diam., Widely omboné hemispherical then convex, viscidule hairless disk with plates velar fibrilleuses appressed or méchules scattered brownish background cream ochraceous, paler at edges, curved margin early, fringed or appendiculée velar remnants of

blades

adnate to adnexed narrow to moderately broad, tight, cream and brown or dark vinous cinnamon, whole-edges, the faces Concolorous

Foot

4-12 (14) x 0.8-2 cm, expanded at the base, stuffed and then hollow, silky and white at the apex, with fine fibrils méchuleuses-velar, whitish to brownish, becoming yellow and rust ochracé crease, rusty brown with age

partial veil

leaving a ring or zone fibrillose superior cream evanescent

Flesh

very thick, whitish

Smell and taste

slightly fragrant smell fruity ± foul on background, sometimes absent, mild flavor

Spore print

brown rust

http://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=H&l=l&nom=Hemipholiota%20populnea%20var.%20edmundii%20/%20H%C3%A9mipholiote%20du%20peuplier,%20vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20d%27Edmund&tag=Hemipholiota%20populnea%20var.%20edmundii&gro=35

This is the website from which the description was translated and it provides pictures.

Thanks again and sorry for posting so many times in a row. I appreciate all of the help i have gotten and may yet get.

FYI - I'm pretty sure Gyms DON'T GLOW.  Jack O'Lantern Mushroom or Omphalotus illudens have spores that glow but i've never seen them do so.
